This is a visual and written journal of Cathy Wilkinson and Bruce Thomas. Paintings, Photographs, Jewelry,Pottery and various high end crafts are shown along with their ideas, thoughts and information describing the creative process.

We have been collaborating artists our entire married lives. Our work is always evolving. The experiences we share, or individually participate in, become a part of what we create. Bruce photographs and throws pots and I paint
and create jewelry and other objects from precious metals.
Bruce's photos are sometimes the inspiration or reference for my paintings and often times I sculpt and carve into his pottery. The results from our combined knowledge and skills becomes something beautiful that we enjoy sharing. Enjoy.

The beginning of a new year

Jan and Allison at the Szozda

Well, I feel my work on the canvas has taken a new and exciting turn with encaustics and my Metals
are becoming stronger with my Etsy Shop helping with exposure. Looking forward to 2012 and new
work. The Port St. Lucie Rock and Gem Studio will be a great learning experience for me this year.

There are many experienced Lapidary guys there and although I'm not really interested in learning the
art of cutting and polishing stones, I sure am excited to watch and learn from them. There's also lamp
work glass artists there. I'd love to learn how to make lamp work beads.

I'll be sketching and posting so "stay tuned". I'm going to try to blog more consistently this year.

I don't know how exciting my writing will be but I'll have some fun pictures anyway!!!
